Ming Beiya gently cupped his hands, protecting the girl in his arms.
Mo Shisheng had no idea how long they had been flying until they landed on the mountaintop, at which point Ming Beiya brought her to a stop.
What kind of mountain is this?
Mo Shisheng noticed that this mountain was higher than the one they usually trained on, so he turned his head to ask.
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the man's eyes. "This is Chu Shan."
"..."
Having received the answer, Mo Shisheng finally understood why Ming Beiya's eyes had flashed with surprise.
Because their barracks were stationed at Chu Mountain, and she didn't know about this mountain, it was indeed surprising.
The view from this high vantage point is excellent.
Mo Shisheng had been trained in night vision at the Special Ability Association before. Although she couldn't see things at night like Ming Beiya, she could see her surroundings clearly by the moonlight.
Their Qi Kingdom's military camp was located south of Chu Mountain. She turned around and saw that she could faintly see firelight to the north, and it seemed that there were many tents stationed there as well.
Mo Shisheng frowned slightly and pointed to the north, "That's also a military camp."
"Um."
Ming Beiya looked in the direction she was pointing. "That's the Southern Kingdom's military camp. Beyond that is the Southern Kingdom itself."
"..."
Mo Shisheng nodded. "I was just thinking this mountain would be suitable for training, but it's too close to the Southern Kingdom. If the Southern Kingdom were to conquer Chu Mountain, wouldn't they be stepping into the territory of the Qi Kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, Ming Beiya lowered his eyes and glanced at Mo Shisheng, "This is why Qi Jingling sent you to Chushan."
"Didn't Qi Muxiao get married there?"
Mo Shisheng looked puzzled. The two countries reached certain agreements through marriage, and Qi Muxiao was destined to become a pawn of the Qi Kingdom in exchange for national peace.
If it were the Phoenix Kingdom or the Situ Kingdom, Mo Shisheng might not be so suspicious. After all, Qi Muxiao had only just married into the kingdom, so why was the Southern Kingdom already showing signs of restlessness?
“Nanxiao also saw you use your supernatural abilities at the Shangguan Mansion that day.”
Ming Beiya wrapped his arm around the girl's slender waist and gently pulled her into his embrace. With the other hand, he pinched her chin and, as if dissatisfied, caressed her soft lips with his calloused fingertips.
"I'm talking to you about serious business, you... um..."
Before Mo Shisheng could finish speaking, Ming Beiya abruptly cut her off, his narrow eyes narrowing and flashing with a dangerous light. "Asheng, midnight is almost here. Are you sure you still want to deal with people like me who have nothing to do with you?"
"..."
Mo Shisheng wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she could detect a hint of sourness in Ming Beiya's tone.
Mo Shisheng leaned closer, pressing her red lips to the man's, and gently biting them. "Ming Beiya, are you stupid? I know all this so I can know myself and my enemy, and win every battle."
Ming Beiya raised an eyebrow slightly, "Asheng is very knowledgeable."
"Um"
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."
Ming Beiya chuckled softly, then put his arm around Mo Shisheng and slowly sat down on the dry ground.
"..."
Mo Shisheng was taken aback. She had unconsciously uttered modern words. She chuckled softly, offered no explanation, and leaned softly against Ming Beiya's chest. Her gaze swept over the mountain, taking in the unobstructed night view.
"Ming Beiya, once I rescue Shangguan Zong, let's wander the world together, shall we?" Mo Shisheng said slowly, her tone carrying a hint of weariness.
